At Trimet its all about who you know

From a reliable source:

A rail supervisor used "excessive force" (police ruling) against a juvenile in an incident at a transit center.
As most people that work at Trimet know, most everybody would be terminated immediately.
But because this particular supervisor was a personal friend of one of the top executives, they were able to keep their job at Trimet, as a rail operator.
Trimet did its usual job of covering the whole incident up.

Incident of excessive force by a TriMet Supervisor involving a juvenile..this gets NO MEDIA COVERAGE??? The Supervisor KEEPS HIS JOB?
How is this different than the recent coverage on Operator Hendren?

Sad that Mickey and his family are still using training wheels. On the other hand Hayden and the rest of the stiff shirts up there have shown who they are.
I expect the same nod of approval when Andrew kicks the .......out of someone again.

Pathetic..if the public even knew the half of it.

Funny they took Andrew off of pd leave before the police had completed the rounds. This was done so they would not have to fire him.

I do wonder how much this kicking session will cost Trimet?

To keep someone around that just is a time bomb walking around waiting for that next kid to kick down the tracks. Wow! Safety ?Well right after He kicks your .......

This kid was hit hard and bloodied...yet Andrew is still on the payroll. Do you wonder if the TriMet Board has been informed? We know the public has not been informed.
Wow..perhaps this "secret" imcident truly does demonstrate how TriMet "values" it's public citizens.
Wow.

If it were a bus Operator, it'd be front page news, Joe Rose would have total coverage of it, the news media would be hounding the Operator.........................

If it's Rail, TriMet covers it up.

It also shows the double standards of our incompetent management.

They care about themselves and their pals.ONLY!

Since it's virtually impossible for the press to follow a story they don't know about -- it's like going to a doctor for the first time in years and he tells you have cancer and your reply is, "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" -- has anyone who know about this bothered to contact Joe Rose?
